Complete 2026 guide for fleets — the large-capacity imperial size for heavy-haul. Hanksugi models in steering, drive and mixed-use with HATT Technology, delivered DDP to Antigua and Barbuda.
The 13R22.5 is a large-capacity imperial size for heavy-haul commercial trucks, widely used in Antigua and Barbuda for port freight, construction haulage and bulk cargo runs. With a section width of 13 inches (330 mm), it is significantly wider than the 11R22.5 or 12R22.5, offering a broader contact footprint and higher load capacity — making it the preferred size for transporting bulk construction materials, aggregates and general heavy freight between Saint John's, Parham, English Harbour and other points across the island. Hanksugi offers three premium models in this size — steering (SUS01), drive (HS68) and mixed-use (HS84) — all manufactured with HATT Technology for maximum mileage and casings designed for 1–2 retreads. Direct container pricing beats retail chains by 15–25%, with DDP delivery to your yard.
The designation 13R22.5 uses the classic imperial system. 13 is the nominal section width in inches (approximately 330 mm from sidewall to sidewall). R indicates radial construction with steel belts. 22.5 is the rim diameter in inches (572 mm). As no aspect ratio is stated, the 13R22.5 has a tall sidewall profile of approximately 90–95%, producing an overall diameter of approximately 1,138 mm and a sidewall height of around 283 mm.
The 13R22.5 is the largest imperial size available on a 22.5-inch rim and offers the maximum load capacity for that rim diameter. Its 330 mm width provides a contact footprint that distributes heavy loads efficiently, making it indispensable in operations where every kilogram of payload counts. In Antigua and Barbuda, where routes include both well-paved main roads and rougher unpaved tracks serving construction sites and rural areas, the 13R22.5 delivers the combination of load capacity, traction and durability that demanding operations require.
Hanksugi produces three premium models in size 13R22.5 covering the steering, drive and mixed-use positions. Direct fleet pricing by full container starts from $290 USD per tyre.

The 13R22.5 size is specified for heavy-haul trucks and applications requiring the maximum load capacity on a 22.5-inch rim:
The 13R22.5 is in high demand in markets where heavy-haul and bulk materials transport are key economic activities:
The 13R22.5 is a standard size for heavy-haul fleets operating between Saint John's, Parham and the port at English Harbour. Fleets serving construction projects in All Saints, Bolans and Swetes, along with resort development haulage across the island, rely on this size for its load capacity and durability on both paved and unpaved surfaces.
Strong demand from fleets transporting bananas, cocoa and construction materials. The Guayaquil–Quito corridor and heavy-haul operations on the coast and sierra use the 13R22.5 intensively in heavy-service trucks.
The largest market for the 13R22.5 in the Americas. Fleets transporting soya, minerals and construction materials in Minas Gerais, São Paulo, Goiás and Mato Grosso represent significant volumes. INMETRO compliance guaranteed.
Demand in mining and heavy-haul transport operations. Fleets running between Lima, Arequipa and southern mining areas use the 13R22.5 in support and materials transport trucks.
Demand from specialist heavy-haul and bulk materials fleets. Mining operations in Sonora and Chihuahua, and cement and steel transport on the Bajío industrial corridor, are the principal users.
The 13R22.5 is used in heavy-haul trucks requiring maximum load capacity on a 22.5-inch rim. Common vehicles include Mercedes-Benz Actros and Axor, Scania P- and G-Series, Volvo VM and FH, Iveco Tector and Stralis, and DAF CF. It is widely used in construction haulage, bulk freight and port operations in Antigua and Barbuda.
The main difference is section width: the 13R22.5 measures 330 mm wide compared with 305 mm for the 12R22.5. This provides a larger contact footprint, higher load capacity (4,000 kg single versus 3,750 kg) and better weight distribution. The 13R22.5 is preferred in extra-heavy applications where every kilogram of capacity is critical.
Hanksugi 13R22.5 tyres carry a load index of 156/150K, delivering 4,000 kg in single position and 3,350 kg in dual position at 900 kPa cold pressure. The 18-ply Load Range J construction is designed for the heaviest freight operations.
